412. The Exact Strategy To Get Your Diet Back On Track While Your Kids Go Back To School

Hot, Healthy, Never Hungry

Show Notes

Back to school season doesn't have to mean falling off track with your nutrition. Whether your kids are heading back to school or you're simply stepping into a new routine this Fall, now is the perfect opportunity to reset your schedule and get your diet back on track. In today's episode, I'm sharing the exact strategy I use with myself and my clients to stay consistent during busy seasons. We'll talk about why you need to start by looking at your calendar and figuring out what your new routine actually looks like, how to plan your food around your busiest days, and the simple habit I use every night to stay ahead of what's coming the next day. I'll also show you how to use a new season as an opportunity to reinvent your meal routine with realistic meal prep that doesn't require cooking every meal, every day. From egg McMuffins and overnight oats to chicken salad, pasta bakes, and make-ahead meatballs, I'll share easy ideas to help you make healthy eating more convenient. If you're ready to use this back to school season as your fresh start, this episode will show you exactly how to create a routine that makes staying on track with your fat loss goals easier.

Fit Girl Fall is officially here! For the entire month of October, I'll be dropping two podcast episodes every week dedicated to helping you get into the best shape of your life this fall. On today's episode, we're settling the debate: do workouts or steps matter more for fat loss, especially when you're short on time and can't always fit both into your day? We already know my motto around here is food first, exercise second… but that doesn't mean movement isn't incredibly important for fat loss, body recomposition, and getting into the best shape of your life. I'm breaking down how I actually decide which to prioritize when time is tight, why doing MORE steps or workouts isn't always the answer, and how to figure out what deserves more of your attention based on your goals and the progress you're seeing. Because workouts matter, steps matter, and so do calories and macros. But instead of doing something just because you heard it on a podcast or saw it on social media, I want you to figure out what you actually need to lock in, level up, and lean out this fall.

Fit Girl Fall is officially here! For the entire month of October, I'll be dropping two podcast episodes every week dedicated to helping you get into the best shape of your life this fall. On today's episode, we're talking about how to stay on track during the busy Fall season because if you're anything like me and my clients… you may not be able to eat every meal at home, and sometimes that means grabbing something quick on the go. It is possible to stay on track with your fat loss goals when you're busy, on the go, or when your family or friends want to stop for fast food. But you do have to order smart and know what to look for on the menu. That's why I'm sharing five fast food orders that you can keep in your back pocket (or really saved on your phone) this Fall, including some of my go-to choices and orders straight from the Dietitians and women on Team TSN. I'll show you how to make your meals more calorie conscious, prioritize protein and fiber, and use my "don't eliminate, elevate" mindset so you can still eat foods you genuinely enjoy without automatically feeling like you're "off track."

Fit Girl Fall is officially here! For the entire month of October, I'll be dropping two podcast episodes every week dedicated to helping you get into the best shape of your life this fall. On today's episode, we're talking about something that might sting a little: you're really good at losing weight… but you suck at keeping it off. Truth is, I don't just care about what the scale says a month from now. I care about where you are a year from now and whether you can actually maintain the results you worked for. To help break this cycle for you, I'm sharing why being good at losing weight doesn't always mean you know how to maintain it, the difference between motivation and commitment, and what needs to change if you want this time to actually be different. If you've lost the same 5, 10, or 20 pounds more times than you can count, only to gain it back and feel like you're starting over again… this episode is for you.

Fit Girl Fall is officially here! For the entire month of October, I'll be dropping two podcast episodes every week dedicated to helping you get into the best shape of your life this fall. On today's episode, I'm answering a question I get all the time: Do you really have to hit your macros perfectly for fat loss? If you've ever been stressed because you were 10 grams over your carbs, came up short on protein, or felt like you "messed up" your day because your numbers weren't perfect, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down how I actually approach calories and macros with my clients, what I want you to prioritize first, and where you have more wiggle room than you probably think. I'm also sharing how close you really need to get to your targets, which numbers I care about most, and how to build some flexibility into your plan without letting that flexibility turn into "anything goes." If you're tired of feeling like you have to eat perfectly to see results, this episode will help you simplify your approach and figure out what actually deserves your attention when it comes to calories, macros, and fat loss.
